Just thoughts

Just a few random thoughts for the day.

Today at Walmart I had some returns to make. I don't especially like making returns. Especially with three kids in tow and definitely not when I walk up and am 4th in line and only one person working at the counter. So anywho, I had been waiting for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Or maybe not that long, it seemed like awhile though. And finally it was my turn and the lady said the usual, "I can help whoever is next." So I push my ginormous cart up to the counter (you know the two seater kind) with my three kids all complaining about something or other that they didn't think was going their way. As I just get up there, this other lady that had just come a couple of minutes ago, says "Um, I was in line here first. I have been waiting for quite some time and the line is over here not where you were."

Seriously!?! You are going to try and say because I wasn't standing in the exact spot where it says to form a line you are going to complain that you were in line first because I wasn't in the right spot?? Wow.

Anyway, the lady working, just kind of looks at both of us like she wasn't sure what to do. So I just calmly said, "Actually I was here long before she was"And put my stuff up on the counter. Thankfully, nothing else was said about it. So, ya, not really a big fan of Walmart either. I would rather just go to Target, but since I needed to return a couple of things...

Tomorrow is Lillie's last day of Kindergarten. I am almost more sad about her finishing her first year of school than I was about her starting it. This next year she will be going all day. And she just seems like she is growing up so much. I was pretty sad dropping her off for the last time at noon. (She goes in the morning tomorrow). But I am happy, that we won't have too much of a schedule to work around for the summer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Our barn cats have all started to have their kittens. We found a couple of nests of them out in the hay a week or so ago and counted 8 kittens. But then the mama cats moved them and we have only found one of the litters again. At last count this winter when all the cats were gathered around eating I counted 13 adult cats. Crazy!! We don't really feed them that much, just a scoop and whoever gets it, gets it. And now that it is summer time, we only have a handful of adult cats that hang around much. But by the time all of them have their kittens I am sure we will be adding some 15+ to our farm. Oh dear.

  1. That story is the picture of walmart. The rudeness of some people. I mean EVEN IF you were after her by some stretch of the imagination, wouldn't the kind thing to do when seeing a momma with THREE kids say "go ahead honey I can wait!" Seriously some ppl. And last I checked most ppl just hover around the return counter until that ONE worker gets around to us! :) Oh how I loathe walmart. :)
